I was told that in order to recieve financial aid my parents would have to make $25,000 a year or less. Even though I live on my own and I am 18 years old and have a job and apartment would I still have to base it on my parents income or could I base it on my own income since I am living on my own; or is there some kind of limitations to getting the financial aid? I was told that I had to at least be 25 years old or married before I could base it on my own income is this true? If not could someone tell me what the limitations are if any? I would really appreciate the help to anyone that replies to this.
